Candidates who interviewed for Stripe's Business Analyst role mostly describe behavioral conversations and a written assignment, not a coding-heavy loop. Several report a recruiter screen, a hiring manager discussion, and then a take-home or written project that was the most demanding step. Reported formats differ. One candidate had two days for an analysis and research project. Another spent about five hours on two papers of two to three pages each, and said the expected response format was unclear. Ask about format, evaluation criteria and time commitment before you start.
Behavioral questions tend to centre on concrete past work. Candidates mention walking through a complex problem, a time they missed a goal or made a mistake, and a process they implemented. Others were asked about their most complex investigations and a high-stakes decision made with missing or ambiguous data. Two candidates describe interviews built around Stripe's Operating Principles, including navigating ambiguity and influencing without authority. One of them said the same two or three stories came up across the written assessment and several interviews, so keep your core examples detailed and consistent.
Technical content looks light. One candidate reported a 60-minute online problem that involved parsing three arrays and running straightforward computations in any language. Another was asked how they use AI. Outcomes were mixed, with one accepted offer and several rejections, including rejections after the written assignment and after a five-person panel. Prepare structured STAR answers and a clear reason for choosing Stripe.

Synthesized from candidate reports. Individual experiences may vary.
Candidates report a recruiter or talent acquisition call, with one describing it as roughly 30 minutes. It typically covers your background, the role and sometimes compensation. Some candidates also got behavioral questions, such as walking through a complex problem or what they would do if they missed an important goal.
Several candidates describe a hiring manager or team member conversation with a behavioral focus. One reported a 45-minute STAR-style interview. Questions mentioned include a time you failed to meet expectations, something you are proud of, going above and beyond, and how you handle competing priorities.
Candidates report a written project or take-home, with timeframes ranging from about five hours to two days. One described two papers of two to three pages, and another a critical-thinking and research project. One was asked to draft an email and meeting agenda. Clarify format and criteria early. Some candidates were rejected right after submitting.
Not every candidate reports this step. One described a 60-minute online problem with several requirements visible upfront. They parsed three arrays and ran straightforward computations in a language of their choice. Expect it to be applied rather than deeply technical.
Candidates who reached the final stage describe a panel or round-robin of roughly four to five interviewers, which may include the hiring manager, global team members or the Treasurer. Topics reported include Stripe's Operating Principles, decisions with ambiguous data and AI use. One said interviewers went beyond the competencies the recruiter had outlined.
